5 Places To Play Manic Minute With The Kids: Summer For Only £14.99
29 July 2025
When you think of the Great British summer, you picture beautiful sunsets, picnics with the family, days spent frollicking along the coast and perfectly timed BBQ’s.
But the reality looks more like hayfever, damp and sticky clothes, melting mascara, mildly tasteless melting ice creams that now require a mortgage to treat a family of 4 and terribly timed BBQ’s that are washed away by a rainstorm that was predicted for in 3 days time.
UK summers, although unpredictable, don’t need to be all doom and gloom, and Manic Minute is here to tell you why
1.Picnics
While it might seem like an obvious choice to take a card game to a picnic, there’s more to it than that. How many family picnics have you not thought about in years or forgotten about totally? Why? Because they were nice but unmemorable.
Manic Minute is an outrageously fun party game that has no age limit. You only need 30 seconds to learn the easy to follow rules and away you go!
Pick one person to flip a category for everyone to see and another person to turn the timer.
Every one has 1 Manic Minute to write down as many things relating to that category as they can – but be sure to write down the obvious to block your opponents as matching answers do not count! You gain points by having answers that no other players have, so try to think outside the box. The more ridiculous – the better! The fun is intensified by arguing your point and defending your answers! (Would you accept the answer Stephen King for the category ‘Kings’?).

2. Trains, Airports and Airplanes
Another positive factor that makes Manic Minute the perfect holiday entertainer is the portability.
Measuring only 18cm x 13cm, weighing less than 500 grams and no metal parts to alert security, Manic Minute is the top choice to take along with your family this summer season. You don’t need a lot of room either, just space for 1 deck of cards and the timer, no complicated layouts or trading. It’s fantastic for keeping the little ones entertained during long stops or journeys.
3. Parent and Child Mornings at Local Cafés and Spaces
This one is for both children and parents. Parent and child mornings at cafés can be vibrant but it’s not only about keeping the young ones entertained and socialised, it’s about the parents too.
What better way to break the ice with a new friend or to forget any lingering woes than with a few rounds of Manic Minute over a bubbly cappuccino? And as others will notice how much laughing and fun you’re having, they’ll want to play too – the more the merrier!

4. Rainy Saturdays
While rainy Sundays sound romantic and alluring, rainy Saturdays are more the norm here in the UK. Something about it just sounds much more grey and disappointing, but do not fear! The kids may be screaming and the washing isn’t drying, there’s still time to bring some sunshine indoors.
Run to the shop, frantically throw the whole shelf of freshly baked croissants into your basket, grab a Sunday morning blend bag of coffee and throw that in too (we’re turning it into a rainy Sunday and plus, you deserve it), run to the baking section and grab everyone’s favourite jam; not too bitty, not too many seeds, less sugar than others but enough that the kids will think it’s unhealthy and then run, run for the cashier and make it home in time before that cartoon that has the kids hypnotised, ends.
Stick the kettle on, warm the croissants, and pick Manic Minute out from the shelf. Now you have a beautiful rainy Sunday morning, on a Saturday. You’re welcome.
5. Children’s Parties
Oh yes, it’s that time of year again. That time when it seems every parent was lonely and cold during the winter of 2018. PARTIES. And lots of ‘em!
But not to worry because you are The Super Parent and you have the magic answer in your bag – Manic Minute! Fun for both adults and kids, everyone can join in! Watch as the riotous and hilarious chaos unfolds and you’re crowned the savior of the party as Jiggles the clown had cancelled. Soon you’ll be actually enjoying yourself and not just pretending to chuckle while you peep at your phone screen. Before you know it, it’ll be party bags all round, just in time as your children start bouncing off the walls with blue tongues.
So there we have it, 5 places to take Manic Minute this summer to keep the whole family entertained. The moral of the story? Keep Manic Minute with you at all times for anti-summer emergencies!
